DELHI UNIVERSITY COMPUTER SCIENCE SOCIETY

At the Department of Computer Science, education stretches beyond classroom sessions. The
emphasis is on creating an environment for students to explore experiment, discover and realize
their potential. In order to achieve this, a number of activities are organized for the students to help
them build the traits of teamwork, trustworthiness and synchronization.

Delhi University Computer Science Society (DUCSS) was established in 2005 with the purpose of
conducting events such as seminars, conferences, competitions and technical festivals, as well as
other cultural and academic events. These events are conducted to enrich student life at the
department. The Society also provides a common meeting ground for students pursuing different
courses within the department. As its first endeavour, DUCSS organized SANKALAN 2005, a two-day
technical festival which was a huge success, and since then it has been a part of the annual
tradition. SANKALAN is a congregation of IT students from all over the country, who compete in
various technical and non-technical events. It aims at honing technical and management skills of
the students at the department. In continuation of effort to strive for excellence in every field, this
year DUCSS successfully organized SANKALAN 2015 with many teams participating from various
colleges all over India. The Society also conducted INTRA-SANKALAN, where the students of the
Department competed among themselves in many technical and non-technical events.

ALUMNI WORKING CLUB

One of the biggest assets of an institute is its alumni. The Society conducts alumni-meet periodically
which includes several interactive events and the social views exchanged promote personality
development which helps the alumni share their industrial experience with the students.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops are organized in the Department to sensitize everyone about the latest trends in the
today’s world. Workshops are also conducted on global issues such impact of our activities have in
polluting the environment and the role of IT in it. Various sessions are held on topics such as Global
Warming, e-Waste Management and presentations by students on IT solutions for climate change.
Following is the list of workshops conducted:

A workshop on Ethical Hacking (Hackveda) by VMDD Technologies was organized to

enlighten the students about the various security issues and train them to be safe from
hackers.

 Life at DUCS

At Delhi University Computer Science Society (DUCSS) we learn to do not only hardwork but
smartwork, which is the mantra for success in today’s world.

Students at DUCS have come from the prestigious colleges and universities from all over India,
having diverse backgrounds, through a rigorous selection procedure. Each of us brings variety of
thoughts and new approaches to the way problems can be dealt with, which in turn prepares us to
work in a diverse life culture at the companies.

Studies, periodic tests, rigorous assignments and high standard projects polish the brains of the
selected few into Diamonds. Winning competitions organized by other reputed institutions and
displaying our talent beyond the academic curriculum has become our tradition. DUCSites
undertake competitive projects like Microsoft’s IMAGINE CUP and IBM’s THE GREAT MIND
CHALLENGE where young minds get a chance to explore the unimagined world of IT. Also DUCSiites
have reached the pinnacle by working at an international level and ensuring success of their
projects in other countries as well.

Apart from all this, another pride of our department is SANKALAN-an event that is eagerly awaited
by all the leading institutes across the country every year. This is the annual Computer Science
Technical festival, which is organized by students at a very large scale in association with several
brand names. This is the time when everyone works together as a team and is dedicated towards a
common goal – to bring pride and honour to the Department. “Division of labour” is followed here
at every step. This keeps the students mentally prepared to perform well in the companies and
prepares them to take responsibilities and live up to the expectations. Teamwork and group
dynamics get instilled in them helping tremendously at their work place.

Regular Seminars are conducted in the department by people renowned both at national and
international level, so as to keep the students updated with the latest trends in the IT sector. This
in turn makes DUCSites more confident to enter any reputed company.

Apart from regular activities, various get-togethers, outings and tours are organized by DUCSites.
This makes them socially active and it also acts as a stress buster for them. Moreover, a different
culture is being followed at DUCS on weekends. When all other colleges are closed in search of a
break after their hectic week, we DUCSites get involved in innovative and creative activities. A
chunk of people from recent alumni of our department visit the campus and share their
experiences with the current batch. They help us in understanding the current scenario of the
industry and guide us towards a better future. Various games are played, small skits are arranged
and a sense of togetherness is celebrated every weekend.
